On the recordJuly 31, 2012
I yield myself 1 minute. Ladies and gentlemen of the House, when the American people expect us to focus on putting people back to work, we find ourselves again playing politics with women's health, pandering to the most radical interest groups, and wasting time on divisive social issues, which to some may be good politics, but I would caution my colleagues to remember why we've been sent here. This war against women cannot continue. The middle class is fighting for its life, workers struggling, and yet we're again putting on this show for the extreme conservatives with an unconstitutional bill that has no chance of becoming law. In fact, for those who are keeping count, this is the second time the majority has brought up a bill restricting access to abortion under a special procedure requiring a two-thirds vote.
